I’m Marquis in Great Tang

The news of Liu Hongcheng’s killing spread like snowflakes in Great Tang and also in Cháng’ān. Li Shimin also got the fall of Zhangye, Ganzhou. News that Liu Hongcheng was killed.

Li Shimin’s complexion immediately collapsed.

To say how much hope Li Shimin has for Liu Hongcheng, there really is no. But if Li Shimin doesn’t hold any hope, that’s not true. In Li Shimin’s heart, he still hopes that Liu Hongcheng can defend Ganzhou and block Du Qi’s army on the front line of Ganzhou.

Unfortunately, some delusions.

Li Shimin immediately arranged people to call Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, and Crown Prince Li Chengqian into the palace.

Xiao Yu is getting older, nearly sixty.

However, Xiao Yu at this time is also very experienced. Because of the lack of Zhangsun Wuji, Li Ji, Li Jing and the others, Li Shimin’s direct lineages have decreased. Now even if it was once Li Yuan’s direct lineage, Li Shimin has been promoted.

Not long after Fang Xuanling entered.

Li Shimin looked around and said: “Just got the news that Ganzhou was lost and Liu Hongcheng was martyred in battle. At present, Xia Country’s army has already conquered Ganzhou and will soon sweep all of Ganzhou. In the next step, Du Qi’s army will definitely continue to advance eastward. What do you think about this matter?”

Everyone looked solemn upon hearing this.

The expressions on each face are not very good, because the situation is very bad.

After Li Shimin returned to the country, he quickly suppressed local chaos, although the surrounding areas of Gyeonggi Province were already suppressed. Various localities have also issued orders to strictly suppress the rebellion. The situation has temporarily stabilized, but in fact, it is under turbulent tide, and the domestic situation has not been truly stabilized. Even if Du Qi does not attack Great Tang, the current situation inside Great Tang will make Li Shimin burn out.

Imperial court officials are also under great pressure.

It is all very difficult.

When Li Shimin didn’t say anything for a while, he looked towards Li Chengqian and said: “Crown Prince, how did you think about it?”

Li Chengqian said to Du Qi, that He wanted to kill and then hurry up, but there was a deep hatred between him and Du Qi. So when Li Shimin asked, Li Chengqian immediately said: “Father Emperor, my son suggested to go to war. I have countless talents in the territory of Great Tang. There are countless talents in the territory of Great Tang. Although Du Qi’s army is tyrannical, it may not be impossible. Fight.”

Li Shimin said: “How to start a war?”

Li Shimin was originally a man who came out on the battlefield and was good at fighting. Therefore, it is very familiar with the march and war. However, Li Chengqian only talked about the war alone, and did not talk about specific strategies. Li Shimin was not satisfied.

To start a war, you must have a strategy.

Only Li Shimin can be satisfied.

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said: “Father Emperor, the children do have a strategy, maybe they can resist Du Qi’s army.”

Li Shimin said: “I listen carefully.”

Li Chengqian said resolutely: “Today, Du Qi’s army is so powerful that it has become a trend that is difficult to contain. In this case, if Du Qi’s offensive is not contained, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Li Shimin flicked his sleeves and said: “Stop talking nonsense.”

Li Chengqian flashed a bright light in his eyes and said: “The Imperial Court has ordered the recruitment of people of insight, allowing them to recruit soldiers by themselves. , Organize troops, and then go to the front to resist Du Qi’s army. As long as the army can resist Du Qi, the Imperial Court will not hesitate to commend them. In most cases, it will directly seal the surnamed Wang. In the light, it will be sealed and given to Fiefdom.”

Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu and the others have all complexion greatly changed, with an incredible expression on their faces. Because this suggestion seems to be effective, in fact there are too many problems.

Li Shimin is also a wise master. He can judge the quality of Li Chengqian’s suggestions, and can judge the pros and cons of Li Chengqian. He said solemnly: “Crown Prince, you know that this plan will produce What’s the impact?”

Li Chengqian said: “I know.”

Speaking of which, Li Chengqian paused for a while, then continued: “The Great Tang at the moment has already Reappearing the troubled times, in the troubled times, we should use heavy puns and take extraordinary measures. At present, the strength of the Imperial Court is to be used to stabilize the internal situation and to suppress the rebellion in various places. The army of Xia Country is constantly killing. For us, this is an extremely bad situation.”

“The Imperial Court has no troops to dispatch. It relies solely on the Provincial Governors, captains, and marching commanders in various places. With that strength, the situation is simply not stable. Although the Father Emperor is worried that allowing local people to recruit soldiers will make many people sit up, but this is not random. It is the Imperial Court who recruits first. These people first come to register and get permission from the Imperial Court to start recruiting.”

“Then, they have to fight on the front lines. If these people only know how to recruit troops but don’t act. Then the Imperial Court can directly deal with people and treat them in one go to enhance the strength of the Imperial Court. . After all, the Imperial Court at the moment is not without troops. As long as there is an army, then there is no problem in suppressing all over the place.”

Li Chengqian said: “And through this order, there is a chance to excavate. More talents will come out.”

When Li Shimin heard this, there was a touch of emotion on his face. When he looked towards Li Chengqian, there was also a touch of approval and relief on his face.

Li Chengqian’s arrangement is indeed good.

For such an arrangement, the Imperial Court can control a wide range because of the registration. Even if some people are unpredictable, the Imperial Court can still control everything and prevent chaos.

Li Shimin said: “What do you think?”

Wei Zheng said solemnly: “His Majesty, the minister thinks it is inappropriate.”

Li Shimin said : “What about the reason?”

Wei Zheng said: “The reason is actually very simple. After this case is opened, the Imperial Court’s control of the place will definitely be weakened. On the surface, this is indeed a selection. Talents go to participate in the war. But participating in the war is not accomplished overnight. For example, this Wang of Lantian County is registered with the government, and he wants to recruit people to prepare for the war.”

paused, Wei Zheng continued:” But after he recruited the people, he formed a force. He left Lantian County, but never went there. It was even delayed for some reason. It is difficult to grasp this point clearly. His Majesty, look at this suggestion. It seems to be good, but in fact there are too many problems, too many deficiencies, and it is easy to be used by people with ulterior motives.”

Li Chengqian retorted: “Even if there are people with ulterior motives, these people can Can Du Qi compete? Can these people mention on equal terms with Du Qi? I am afraid that ten or twenty people are not as harmful as one Du Qi. However, if you can find out what can be done from countless people Stop Du Qi, drag Du Qi’s army, and even destroy Du Qi’s people, then I, Great Tang, will keep it.”

Li Chengqian is now very confident, fighting back strongly, saying: “As long as It is the solution of external threats, so the next step is to sort out internal contradictions, it will be much easier.”

Wei Zheng said solemnly: “Crown Prince, you are a strong word. Such a strategy must never be used. OK, because after such a policy is promulgated, it may actually make the entire Great Tang beacon smoke everywhere.”

Li Chengqian said: “Wei Zheng, you are absurd. Could it be that you are because of it.” My daughter married someone from the Du family. Your Wei family and Du family are related by marriage, so you prefer Du Qi. Do you want to pave the way for Du Qi in advance?”

“Enough!”

Li Shimin yelled directly.

Li Shimin’s eyes were very stern at this moment, scolded: “Crown Prince, you are the prince, you should know what you should say and what should not be said. Wei Zheng is my right-hand man, how can he be private. If you make the same mistake again, I will never take it lightly.”

Li Chengqian said: “My son knows the mistake!”

Wei Zheng directly took the small official hat and put it aside. On the ground, he knelt down and said: “His Majesty, the minister is loyal to the heart of Great Tang, Heaven and Earth can be learned, the sun and the moon can be seen. Now that Crown Prince says so, it means that many people judge this way.”

paused, Wei Zheng continued: “The minister is in the center again, ranking in the Imperial court. I am afraid it is unconvincing. Please His Majesty, put the minister to jail. Until the offensive of Xia Country, the minister will never Leave the cell for half a step to prove yourself.”
